Bennett's vote against the flag desecration amendment is no surprise to me. Many people don't realize that he has strong social liberal tendencies. He works hard to keep them hidden and his critics off-balance with his "aw shucks" genial nature.

Along the same lines, Bennett has been a strong supporter of federal hate crimes legislation and has pushed for federal government meddling in local zoning laws to make them comport with Kofi Anan's UN model.

The whole flag burning issue is so stupid. So what if someone burns a flag? They've proven that they are an idiot. Big Deal.
